Money line (ML)
The Nuggets are red-hot right now, having won five in a row, eight of 10 and 10 of 13. They have not lost on their five-game road swing. The Spurs have won two in a row and four of six. They also, despite being only 4-5 at home this season, have won three straight home games. Denver is playing their fifth game in seven days while the Spurs are more rested. Take the SPURS (+155) for the upset.
Against the spread (ATS)

They beat the spread on average by 2.2 points. The Spurs are also 7-4 ATS as underdogs. With Denver wrapping up a long road swing, the Spurs will wear them down. Take the SPURS +4.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Denver has the highest Over percentage in the league at 72.2%, but San Antonio’s is one of the lowest at 38.9%. Seven of their last nine have gone Under.
